How to Replace Shattered Kenmore Oven Glass

The glass in a Kenmore oven can be shattered in a number of ways, including bumping into it with something or allowing cold water to get on it when it is very hot. Average do-it-yourselfers can replace the shattered glass themselves. The project requires no special tools, and those you will need are in most home toolboxes. The project will take you about an hour, and you can save a great deal of money by making the repair yourself instead of calling in a technician.
